    Crinkle Cut Fries

    10/10 if you wanna get scammed, ordered half a serving fried and was able to count all 13 fries that were in the bag, not even half way full. Would definitely go again for a burger tho, at least I'll know I'll get an actual serving with a burger.

    $7 fries

    I've been told by a friend since I moved here about this place and that it's a must try . I was out shopping had a backseat full of groceries I needed to stash in various freezers so I needed to feed the husband something quick and since I'd been out all morning I offered to bring a ready to eat lunch home . I don't care for any of the usual fast food places in Centralia. If I ever grab something I like to support local. I stopped by this place and quickly ordered 2 burgers 2 fries and 2 small shakes . NOTHING prepared me for the $49 total . The wait for the food was a ridiculous 35 minutes and the food was nothing I could in all honesty rate above a 3 out of 5 the shakes were thin and runny and the fries were the sane ones that are $2 for a 2 lb bag at grocery outlet . That brown bag meal was really only a $24 value . Definitely not equal to a $49 nice sit down meal. Wait till I see my friend .

    The place is like a roadside coffee stand, you pull up to the window and order so not much of an atmosphere. Whatever. I took my double cheeseburger and tater tots and ate a nearby park. I enjoyed it. It was greasy, but I like that once in a while. The servers were very friendly. Next time I'm in town I'll swing by again. I hear they have good shakes but didn't order this time. I'd like to see whoever owns this put a little more into the place and see what happens. This place has a lot of potential.

    Chesseburger no onions.

    Been there about 5 times now and I've never been disappointed. Food tastes amazing and service is great!! Ice cream shakes are also yummy. Try it out

    Stopped for a quick bite to eat, and it's a true classic drive through. I enjoyed the fries the most, but since that is something of high importance to me thats all good! Nice stop on a road trip. As with any drive through, the time you have to wait varies with what the people in front orders. The wait was slightly longer than I expected, but it's not really the fault of the business.

    Great old time burger and ice cream drive up! We stopped here for dinner around 5:30 on a Thursday in July. There were only 2, or, 3 cars at the drive up windows and we were surprised it took a little time to get our order in/made? That was until... we drove around back to the large parking area to park and eat. There were 6 more cars lined up side by side, with a nice lady taking orders. One of those things only the locals know about... LOL! People were standing outside of their cars talking and kids were playing close by. A very old time relaxed feeling seemed to surround the place. There is also a nice inside seating area in a building off to the SW side of the Drive through. Large trash cans and nice bathrooms in the same area. The friendly young (HS?) waitress was very efficient at the drive through and a joy to talk with. Our food (corn dog/grilled cheese on sourdough) was very good, but, the $3.75 sundaes were the best! They even came with whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top! We will be back! Yum!!!

    4.85 for this?  I'll pass next time.

    Stopped in here on a Monday around 4 after leaving LaConner and the tulip festival. It's a local…read morehangout I'd classify more of a dive sports bars our favorite kind. There were a few people at the bar and a table of 2. We were asked if we were dining we said yes please. We were informed they were prepping hamburger for the next day so it might be a minute. We said no problem we'll just enjoy a beer and wait. We checked out the menu and picked out what we wanted when she was ready to cook. A minute later the server shows up and asks what we wanted to order, I asked didn't we have to wait until the hamburger was prepped. She responded "oh I just like to be prepared." So we placed our order for two burgers and she went back and prepared them. It was interesting people watching... very much a locals place.

    I was really disappointed, and it's only the second bar I've ever been to…read more My friend said he thought about taking me here because I'd have a BETTER time than Tower Tavern. Boy was he wrong! This place had extremely drunk people singing horrible karaoke...which, may not be the most unusual. But that was literally the entire population at the time we went...which was PEAK time to be at a bar! Then like I said above, nobody was there, except what my friend assumed were "the regulars." So we felt like flies on the wall for sure. Especially since I don't drink. It felt small and cramped, so when I heard that my friend had been here before "when there was a DJ" and related it to videos he'd Snapchatted, I knew this place wasn't for me. How could you fit in a "concert" of sorts? (His videos looked like a club environment, and waaay more space then what was really available.) I hate to say it, but this place ruined bars for me. They even asked me to pull my mask down when checking my ID. By the way, they didn't card at the door, just after my friend wanted a drink, so I'll bet they were shocked when I literally didn't order anything. Not even water. Overall, this place felt cramped, and the music was ear-piercingly bad. Literally, it gave me a migraine. I'll never be coming back, because the parking was horrible, and it was in a weird location that was enough out of the way. It doesn't get a 1/10 because I don't like bars, so people who do MAY be able to have a better time.

    My wife and I ate at Dairy Dan in Chehalis yesterday. Two meals came to more than fifty dollars…read more That is a substantial bill for a drive-in burger stand, and the service did not justify it. The adult working in the back was dismissive from the outset. One of the burgers we wanted was unavailable. When I asked what it was, a young employee answered that they did not have them anyway not an apology, not an alternative, just a clipped remark that made the shortage sound like our problem. The tray was then dropped and slid across the table. I said thank you. The reply was "Yup." A drive-in puts its staff in front of the public. That is the job. These are young people being given a chance to work and earn money. The interaction we received suggested they have not been taught, or required, to treat customers with ordinary courtesy. One employee spent roughly twenty-five plus minutes in the restroom before appearing on the floor. Sink was dry, I did not see any handwashing before she handled our order. In a food business, that is not a small detail. Remember, you never know whom you are serving. The person at the counter is not just another ticket. Courtesy is not optional because the customer looks ordinary, and accountability does come in reviews, in lost business, and in a reputation a small shop cannot afford to shrug off. This is consistent with what other reviewers have described for some time prices that belong to a sit-down restaurant, difficulty finding a supervisor, and a tone from the counter that treats a complaint as an inconvenience. Dairy Dan's reputation has always rested more on ice cream than on burgers. After yesterday, the service problem is clearer than the food. If the check is going to look like a restaurant check, the staff should be held to restaurant standards, look people in the eye, acknowledge a simple thank-you, and have an adult accountable when something is out of stock or a tray hits the table.

I had the Pesto Caprese pizza and it was amazing! The balsamic glaze added just the right amount of sweetness to bring together the different flavors. My husband had the NY steak and said it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our server was very attentive and told us how all the ingredients were locally sourced, which is very good to hear because we like to support local businesses. Lastly, the building is quite beautiful with the exposed brick interior walls. I'm not familiar with the local history so I'm curious as to what this building was originally? We will definitely come back and also check out the market next time.

    So Bad It Was Almost Comical…read more My wife and I stopped here for lunch on our drive from Oregon to Seattle. The parking lot was completely full, so after circling around and eventually finding street parking, we figured the place must be popular. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the high point of the experience. The main restaurant was fairly full, so we were seated in a large, dark bar area in the back. And then... nothing happened. For more than 30 minutes. Eventually, a waiter appeared and took our order. Then another 30+ minutes passed before the food arrived. Somehow, even our iced tea didn't make it to the table until the food did. All told, we spent roughly an hour sitting at an empty table without so much as a beverage, and about 90 minutes from the time we arrived until we actually had food in front of us. At that point, the whole experience was becoming almost comical. We ordered a cod burger with fries, a Caesar salad, onion rings and an iced tea. The cod burger was okay. Nothing memorable, but edible. The Caesar salad was actually good. The fries, however, arrived cold, soggy and thoroughly greasy -- quite an accomplishment considering how long we waited for them. The onion rings apparently embarked on a separate journey altogether, because they never arrived. By then, we'd lost the will to ask about them and just gave up. The grand total for one cod burger with cold fries, a small Caesar salad and an iced tea? $40.00! We mentioned the long wait, forgotten food and other problems to our waiter. He was sympathetic and explained that they were short staffed, which we understand can make things difficult. But being short staffed doesn't make a 90-minute lunch, no drinks for an hour, cold soggy fries and forgotten food any less disappointing -- especially at those prices. By the end, we weren't even angry. The whole thing had crossed over into comedy. Needless to say, on future drives between Oregon and Seattle, we'll be finding a different midway lunch stop.
